    New Beginning, if the letters from your ex are productive, then it may be money well spent by you. If the letters are productive, it shouldn’t make a difference whether they come from your ex or your ex’s lawyer.

    But you’re right - dealing with someone who’s not represented can involve a waste of money. I think most family law lawyers have procedures in place to minimize this. For instance, in my office, any communication from someone who’s self-represented gets screened by Lindsay first so I don’t waste time.

    Also, starting legal proceedings can be a way of forcing your ex to get a lawyer.
